Monique,

The hotel was absolutely amazing and clean. Breakfast was great. Staff were very nice, upbeat and accommodating. The location is perfect as it sits at the perimeter of the city center. Food, shopping and sights are in walking distance. The underground parking was definitely a plus for us.

I love the fact that everyone at the The Grand Union spoke English. I was concerned that my husband and I would not be understood, but that was dispelled the moment we walked in. I would go back to The Grand Union again and again, especially because of Damir! Damir greeted us at the reception service desk and treated us with respect and care. He directed us to the most amazing restaurants, places of interest and low cost shopping area. Damir made sure our roo was filled with a mini bar, fruit and all the snacks we could eat.

Location can’t get any better, room was very clean and comfortable, breakfast very good, service excellent and the pool is really good and clean. Would definitely come again.

Petar,

The breakfast is excellent. Lots of choices, very well presented, buffet staff were very attentive. The reception gives a very warm welcome, and you feel taken care of. They were very professional and speak very eloquent and clear. Location is central, a lot of shops and restaurants around. This is worth the money you pay and we would love to stay here again!

Booking.com Guest Review Guidelines

To keep the rating score and review content relevant for your upcoming trip, we archive reviews older than 24 months.

Only a customer who has booked through Booking.com and stayed at the property in question can write a review. This allows us to verify that our reviews come from real guests like you. Who better to tell others about the free breakfast, friendly staff, or their comfortable room than someone who’s stayed at the property?

We want you to share your story, with both the good and the not-so-good. All we ask is that you follow a few simple guidelines.

Reviews Vision

We believe review contributions and property responses will highlight a wide range of opinions and experiences, which is critical in helping guests make informed decisions about where to stay.

Reviews Principles

Contributions to Booking.com are a reflection of the dedication of our guests and properties, so we treat them with the utmost respect.

Whether negative or positive, we'll post every comment in full, as quickly as possible, after it's moderated to comply with Booking.com guidelines. We'll also provide transparency over the status of submitted content.

After a review has been submitted, you can modify it by contacting Booking.com customer service.

We'll use the same guidelines and standards for all user-generated content, and for the property responses to that content.

We'll allow the contributions to speak for themselves, and we won’t be the judge of reality. Booking.com’s role is to be a feedback distributor for both guests and properties.

Guidelines and Standards for Reviews

These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly, without limiting expression or strong opinions. They're also applicable regardless of the comment's tone.

Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.

Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include hate speech, discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, or the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.

All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.

Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and other similar details.

The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties, and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.

By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options might be available (by type of traveler, by score, etc...).

“Stay for the location, not the spa”

• Leisure trip

• Couple

• Comfort Queen Room

• Stayed 1 night

Terrible mess at the spa, which was overcrowded and the receptionist there couldn't handle it right. We had to wait in line for people to leave so we could enter. We didn't expect such a situation because the spa doesn't require reservations. The waiting area is 4 seats only. Every minute guests were entering and being denied the access to the facilities because it was overbooked. Clients didn't have a place to wait and would either go back to their room or stand. The receptionist wouldn't even politely apologize, she just shook head to everyone approaching her and would repeat "completely overbooked". Then a family of 5 arrived and made a scene because, like everybody else, they booked this hotel for the pool. We, for example, also wanted to relax a little bit and go for the dinner we booked at a particular hour. The receptionist called the front desk (or the manager) and then told the family they could ask us to let them go first, which is the most unprofessional thing to do and she put us in an awkward position. When we finally entered, we found out that there were no available beds by the pool. My husband went to ask about it and apparently their policy is to let 25-30 people in at the same time althought they have only 18 seats. We then decided to try to use the sauna but didn't manage as it was occupied and people would take their time, so it was hopeless to enter. Finally we managed to get the beds by the pool. There were 9 kids and several adults in the water making splashes and a mess: no chance for a nice swim. We decided to end it there and went back to our room. Big disappointment that ruined the mood of the New Year's day.

Front desk people were nice, especially Gregor who seemed to be very understanding.
